The 3rd Year Agriculture degree students visited Mike at @hopetounhouse Estate to see first-hand what they are doing to diversify their land use. The students learned a lot which they can take away and consider with their own farming businesses in the future. This included, but not limited to, using their properties in movies, running a farm shop, and installing a bio mass system which powers many homes.
